Obsessed with pitch shapes. Used to write a lot, now only a little. By lines @baseballpro @draysbay @fivethirtyeight. Leftist. Views are my own.

[Rachel Luba (レイチェル・ルーバ) @AgentRachelLuba]

17 pitchers have been signed by MLB orgs from the Atlantic League so far.

@BauerOutage has been named Atlantic League Pitcher of the Month for both April and May, being recognized as the most valuable pitcher in the league each month so far.

Fans love him.
Stadiums sell out for him.
Teammates love him.
Front offices love him.
He’s never paid a false accuser a single cent.
His false accusers both currently face criminal charges.
And the initial allegations were so BS that he was never charged with a crime, let alone even arrested on suspicion.

Make it make sense.

Is there a team whose alley Skubal is not right up?

[MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM @MLBNetworkRadio]

"I think Erik Neander would be willing to give up his top prospect."

@JimBowdenGM has the #Rays as his sleeper team to land Tarik Skubal.

@SportsNewman hey it takes a lot of guts and experience to say that the best pitcher in the sport for the last two years might be a good fit for a contending team

Heartbreaking! Area nepo baby sad after realizing he isn't good at job he inherited.

[Bryan Hoch ⚾️ @BryanHoch]

Hal Steinbrenner said it is "not fair" to assume the Yankees make a profit.

"I don't want to get into it, but that's not a fair statement or an accurate statement. Everybody wants to talk about revenues. They need to talk about our expenses, including the $100 million dollar expense to the City of New York that we have to pay every February 1, including the Covid year. So it all starts to add up in a hurry."

Love this trade for the Rays! Who'd they--ohhhhh.

[Marc Topkin @TBTimes_Rays]

#Rays trade RHP Cole Wilcox, who was DFA'd on Monday, to #Mariners for cash.
Wilcox, who made his MLB debut in September, was last player remaining with Rays from Dec. 2020 trade of Blake Snell to #Padres.

A-Rod really just said, "If you chase perfection, you get disaster." Dude is really just out here saying shit.

find someone who looks at you the way Josh Lowe looks at a pitcher he's about to hit a leadoff home run off of

[Brian Menéndez @briantalksbsb]

Jansen's framing is becoming comically bad at this point. That walk to Meyers is on him. I do believe he is trying, but the technique is absolutely atrocious. There is too much wasted movement. Watch as his glove goes up, down, and then back up. Just not good.

[Brian Menéndez @briantalksbsb]

@Kellen__Voss @draysbay thank you! I hope for the same haha

[Brian Menéndez @briantalksbsb]

Extremely excited to be back on the pages of @draysbay, in which I dissect Danny Jansen's framing technique. https://t.co/GXxuRTS8sx via @draysbay
